Frequently asked questions

What should I do after a motorcycle crash in Berkeley?

Seek medical care and document your injuries. Then contact a motorcycle crash attorney to review options and protect your rights.

California generally requires filing within two years of the crash. Certain circumstances can shorten or extend that time, so a local attorney can review your case.

You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. The total depends on liability and proven damages.

Most cases settle without a trial, but some proceed to court if a fair agreement cannot be reached. Our team prepares for either outcome to protect your interests.

Having a lawyer to handle insurer communications helps prevent missteps that could hurt your claim. We protect your rights and explain options as your case moves forward.

Fault determination looks at traffic laws, evidence from the crash scene, and witness statements. Investigations, photos, and expert opinions help establish responsibility.

If the other driver is uninsured, you may still have options under uninsured motorist coverage or other remedies. We evaluate all avenues to pursue fair compensation.

Bring photos of the crash, medical records, police reports, repair estimates, and a list of expenses. Also include insurance information and any correspondence with your insurer.

Case duration varies with complexity and the value of damages. Some cases settle in months, others take longer if court involvement is needed.

Yes. We offer a free initial consultation to review your case. There is no obligation to move forward after the meeting.
